Description lenz 2008-09-02 14:45:39 UTC
Version:           0.7 (using 4.1.1 (KDE 4.1.0 (4.1 >= 20080722)) "release 40.3", KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop / openSUSE_11.0)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.25.11-0.1-default

I use Okular as my default PDF viewer in Firefox. Many times I look at PDFs that are generated on the fly (e.g. online invoices, bank account statements or flight tickets). These usually have temporary file names after they have been downloaded directly. 

When I want to save these, I usually use "Save As" and navigate to the directory that contains similar documents (e.g. invoices from the previous months).

I now would like to be able to use one of the existing file names as the "template" for the new file name (e.g. by just updating the date of the name).

However, as soon as I click on an existing file name, Okular asks me if I would like to overwrite this existing file. It is not possible for me to change the file name and then clicking on "Save" to initiate the saving of the file.

I would prefer if clicking on an file would just replace the file name in the "Location" text area, allowing me to further edit the new name before pressing "Save" to actually commit the change.
